One of her friends had told her it would be in May. This was way ahead of the October or November date she thought it was going to be. This was such an exciting change that apparently she and several of her friends danced around school on Wednesday, chanting "It's May! It's May! It's May!"

Obsess much?

Never let it be said that I don't rain on my little girl's parade. There was an announcement on Thursday that the official release date is ...

*drum roll please*

August 2.

Oh the moaning and crying and rending of garments that ensued!!

"AUGUST SECOND????"

If her lower lip had gotten any lower, she would have scraped it on the pavement.

On a similar theme, her royal Roo'ness decided she needed another instant messenger screen name. This one proclaimed an imagined relationship between her and the main character of her obsession-compulsion.

Prompting this response from her older brother:

Drama King (9:44:30 PM): Your daughter is diseased. Have you seen her new screenname?

Evil Mother (9:44:40 PM): yes

Evil Mother (9:44:44 PM): you know what this is from?

Drama King (9:44:50 PM): Yes.

Evil Mother (9:45:05 PM): i dont know ANYONE else who obsesses about stuff this way

Evil Mother (9:45:47 PM): do you? :-P

Drama King (9:46:24 PM): Are you implying something?

Evil Mother (9:46:45 PM): not me

Evil Mother (9:46:47 PM): oh no

Evil Mother (9:46:49 PM): nono

Evil Mother (9:46:53 PM): no no no no

Drama King (9:47:19 PM): Lol, when you see me with the screen name of peterparkerismybf then we'll talk about obsession.

I'm a working wife and mom, married 9 years to the Wonderhubby. My five kids (yes five) are 31 (Drummer Man), 28 (Drama King), 22 (Z-man), 22 (J-Bear) and (gulp) 18 (the Roo-girl). What was I thinking? Oh yeah, I was thinking that I love my life, my kids, my world. Right now, I'm dealing with the end of high school and the start of college years (eek!), new drivers, rebellious twentysomethings, my emptying nest (cry) and letting go.
